Meanwhile, Lily's family had heard the news of her delivery, and Alex's expression turned dark and brooding. He was lost in thought, his mind consumed by a single, obsessive idea: to get Lily back, no matter the cost.
But he kept his thoughts to himself, his face a mask of calmness. No one suspected the turmoil brewing inside him...
Sophia, on the other hand, couldn't hide her feelings. She grew more and more resentful, her jealousy of Lily simmering just below the surface. She couldn't bear the thought of Lily being happy with Leo and their new babies
The night wore on, with Lily and Leo enjoying quiet moments together as they gazed at their sleeping babies and they slept off.
The next morning, the sun shone brightly through the windows of the Moretti estate, casting a warm glow over the rooms. Lily woke up feeling refreshed and renewed, her heart full of joy and gratitude.
After a leisurely breakfast, Lily and Leo decided to spend the morning relaxing and enjoying each other's company. They sat on the couch, watching as Mirabel bonded with her nephew and niece, cooing and laughing as she played with Luca and Aria.
Lily and Leo sat on the couch, watching Mirabel with a warm smile. But then Lily's expression turned serious, and she reminded Leo of the contract they had signed. "You know, after I gave birth, I was supposed to leave," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Leo's face fell, and he looked at her with sad eyes. "I'm sorry, Lily," he said, his voice filled with emotion. "But that's never going to happen. You're not going anywhere."
Lily's heart skipped a beat as she searched Leo's face. What did he mean? Was he going to tear up the contract and keep her by his side?
As she waited for his answer, her heart pounding with anticipation, Leo's eyes locked onto hers, filled with a fierce determination
"I won't let you go, Lily," Leo said, his voice filled with love and adoration. "You're the mother of my children, and I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
Lily's heart soared at his words, and she smiled, feeling happy and relieved.
"What about the contract?" she asked, her voice filled with curiosity.
Leo chuckled and pulled her close. "I took care of it, my love," he said. "Remember when we got officially engaged? I had my lawyers tear up the contract. You're mine now, and I'm not letting you go."
Lily laughed and hugged him tightly. "I'm glad to hear that," she said, feeling grateful and loved.
Just then, Mirabel walked over to them, Luca and Aria giggling in her arms. "Hey, guys, what's going on?" she asked, looking at them with a curious expression.
Leo grinned and reached out to tickle the babies' chins. "Just discussing our future, Mirabel," he said, his eyes shining with happiness.
Lily smiled, feeling grateful for this loving and supportive family. She knew that she and Leo were meant to be together, and she was excited to see what the future held for them
As the days turned into weeks, Lily and Leo's love continued to grow. They spent their days caring for Luca and Aria, and their nights cuddled up together, watching movies or just talking.
The Moretti family was overjoyed to see Lily and Leo so happy, and they welcomed Lily with open arms. Madam Clara spoiled her rotten, cooking her favorite meals and giving her massages. Antonio taught her how to play chess, and Elder Moretti shared stories of the family's history.
Mirabel, Leo's younger sister, adored Lily and the babies. She would spend hours playing with Luca and Aria, and Lily loved watching her with them. Mirabel was like a little ball of energy, always bouncing around and making everyone laugh.
Zoey, Lily's new best friend, was always around, chatting with Lily and helping with the babies. She and Lily would spend hours gossiping and laughing together, and Lily was grateful to have found such a loyal and supportive friend.
Marco, Leo's younger brother, was always looking out for Lily, making sure she was okay and had everything she needed. He would often tease her and play jokes on her, but Lily knew he was just trying to make her feel like part of the family.
As for Leo, he was besotted with his new family. He would spend hours playing with Luca and Aria, and he loved watching Lily care for them. He was grateful for every moment they spent together, and he knew that he would do anything to keep them safe and happy.
One day, as they were all sitting down to lunch, Leo turned to Lily and said, "I have a surprise for you."
Lily's eyes lit up with excitement. "What is it?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Leo grinned mischievously. "You'll just have to wait and see," he said, his eyes sparkling with excitement
Lily's curiosity was piqued, and she couldn't help but wonder what Leo had planned. She tried to get it out of him, but he just laughed and told her to be patient.
After lunch, Leo took Lily's hand and led her to the garage. He opened the door to reveal a brand-new car, a sleek and stylish vehicle that Lily had never seen before.
"I wanted to get you a new car, one that's just for you," Leo said, his eyes shining with excitement. "But that's not all. I have another surprise for you."
Leo got into the driver's seat and motioned for Lily to get in. He drove her to their villa in Malibu, a beautiful beachside estate that Lily had never seen before.
As they arrived at the villa, Lily gasped in amazement. The villa was stunning, with sleek lines and modern decor. Leo took her hand and led her inside, showing her around the spacious rooms and beautiful gardens.
But the biggest surprise was yet to come. Leo took her to the city, to a beautiful building in the heart of the fashion district. He led her to the top floor, where a sign read "Lily Rose Fashion Studio".
Lily's eyes widened in shock as she took in the fully-equipped fashion design studio. There were sewing machines, fabric, and all the tools she needed to create her own designs.
"I know how much you love fashion, and I wanted to give you a space to pursue your passion," Leo said, his eyes shining with love. "You can use this studio to create your own designs, and I'll support you every step of the way."
Lily was overwhelmed with emotion, and she threw her arms around Leo's neck. "Thank you," she whispered, her voice trembling with gratitude.
Leo held her close, and they stood there for a moment, basking in the joy and love of the moment. Then, Leo pulled back and smiled. "I'm so glad you like it," he said, his eyes sparkling with happiness
Lily's eyes sparkled with tears as she took in the beautiful studio. She had always dreamed of having her own fashion label, and now, thanks to Leo, that dream was within reach.
"I don't know what to say," Lily said, her voice trembling with emotion. "This is the most amazing gift anyone has ever given me."
Leo smiled and took her hand. "You deserve it," he said. "You're an incredibly talented designer, and I know you're going to make a name for yourself in the fashion world."
Lily felt a surge of gratitude and love for Leo. He believed in her, and he was willing to support her dreams, no matter what.
As they stood there, holding hands and looking out over the city, Lily knew that she had found her soulmate in Leo. He was kind, generous, and loving, and he made her feel like the luckiest person in the world.
"I love you," Lily said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Leo's eyes sparkled with love, and he pulled her close. "I love you too," he said, his voice filled with emotion.
As they hugged, Lily knew that she had found her happily ever after with Leo. She was grateful for the love they shared, and she knew that their future together would be bright and beautiful.
